What are the best core exercises to do without a gym?
Fortunately, there are plenty of core exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home! The best exercises are those that work a variety of the core stabilisers and are specific to running mechanics. Dead bugs, planks, supermans, glute bridges and swan holds are all great choices. Check out how to do them using the following links.

My training was going well up until a few weeks ago and then I came down with a severe lung infection - antibiotics have cleared this, but I feel like I have to start again. Any tips to aid recovery and get back on form?

Running Training
I have a place in the 2019 London Marathon and want to do it as I am 80 this December. I have never run before and have to admit I do not particularly like running but I am looking on it as a challenge. I have started week 3 of "Couch to 5k" programme and have completed 4 park runs with a PB of just over 41 mins(quite slow). I have read several training programmes etc. but would welcome your advice as to the best way to achieve my goal and stay really motivated. I also go to the gym a couple of times a week for body strengthening exercises. Many thanks.
